Movies, Wallets, and Greek Delights

The Date: Friday, July 8
The Delivery: An advance copy of Vegucated, vegan wallets from The Vegan Collection, Turkish delight and ouzo from Greece (thanks to Editor-at-Large Laura Hooper Beck for the goods!), and The Latest in Clinical Nutrition, Volume 5
Staff Pick: Veducated

The DL: We first learned about the new documentary Vegucated when talking to Marisa Miller Wolfson for May+June 2011's "Water Cooler," and we can't wait to watch the film. It's always interesting to watch people's transformations as they go vegan. Spend your next rainy weekend watching some more great  veg films (did someone say Babe?) in our 10 Must-See Veggie Movies. Happy Friday!

Flip Flops, a Wallet, and Cookbooks

The Date: Friday, January 28

The Delivery: Flip flops from Okabashi, a wallet from The Vegan Collection, Vegan Bake Sale by Carla Kelly, and Vegan Diner by Julie Hasson

Staff Pick: Vegan Diner

The DL: Happy Friday from the VNHQ! On this chilly day the office has been craving some seriously warm comfort food—just the kind of stuff littering the pages of Julie Hasson's new cookbook. (Psst! You might find Julie in our upcoming March+April 2011 issue.) Not only do the french fries (and burger, and potato salad...) on the cover look great, but we love a good non-dairy milkshake as much as the next person. Speaking of milkshakes: want to know which non-dairy milk works best as a base for your next chocolate-Oreo shake? Check out our handy guide to non-dairy milks.

Belt it Out

The Date: Friday, March 26

The Delivery: The Vegan Collection's brand new men's belts

Staff Pick: "The Garrison" belt in black

The DL: This slim belt fits easily into the skinnier loops of men's dress pants, and the black color makes it versatile enough to transition from the office to a night on the town. At an affordable price, dressing to the nines while remaining cruelty-free leaves both our men and our wallets happy.

Pocket Me This

Date: Monday, December 14
The Delivery: Two books, a wallet, and some nifty kitchen appliances
Staff Pick: The Spencer Pocket from The Vegan Collection

The DL: This cute, little pocket wallet is both stylish and light, and one of many products that are popping up at this cruelty-free, mail-order web store. Whether you want shoes, belts, or wallets, they have you covered.

On an even sweeter note, don't miss the Vegan Holiday Baking Chat with Allison Rivers Samson tonight @ 6pm!

The Vegan Bible (Belt)

Date: Wednesday, November 18
The Delivery: Some cruelty-free accessories from The Vegan Collection and several more copies of 1,000 Vegan Recipes by Robin Robertson
Staff Pick: The "Sampras" belt from The Vegan Collection

The DL: You can never have too many belts, especially when they're this versatile. Plus, The Vegan Collection donates 25 percent of its profits to animal charities.

Stay tuned for our Robin Robertson cookbook giveaway on Café VegNews!

Dress to Impress Monday

Date: Monday, August 17
The Delivery: Some fine-looking tea from Republic of Tea, a couple belts and wallets from The Vegan Collection, and some classy makeup
Staff Pick: The Deluxe Eyeshadow from Urban Decay

The DL: There's a good possibility that you'll buy this shadow just for the cool case, and it looks like each shade has an individual design. And did we mention that it's cruelty-free?
